And I'm so glad you're satisfied and happy with the move. It makes it so much easier to deal with the hassles of moving. If it weren't for my critters, I'd be checking out an assisted living space for myself and hubby. But, I'm not about to give away most of my critters when I've had them all their lives. Not only are they my responsibility, but I couldn't stand the tearing of my heart. I've already made arrangements for whomever is left once *I* cross the Rainbow Bridge... and I'm hoping to be reunited with all my lost loves who crossed that bridge before me. Forget the Pearly Gates! I want that Rainbow Bridge!
